Short Story as a Form of Literature

  Short Story as a Form of Literature What is a short story? What are the various characteristics of it? Introduction: A Short Story is a ‘short piece of fiction aiming at unity of characterization’. According to H. E. Bates, the short story has the infinite and infinitely variable nature of a cloud. Edgar Allan Poe says that the short story should have the unity of impression and singleness of purpose.

ELEMENTS OF NOVEL

  ELEMENTS OF NOVEL Introduction Novels are complex narratives. They unfold over time, guided by characters, conflicts, and settings that reflect human life. Both readers and writers benefit from understanding the key elements that shape a novel. These elements are like building blocks. They give form, structure, and meaning to fiction.

Each of these elements, along with additional elements like point of view, imagination, style, and moral vision, as emphasized by Hudson have been discussed here. Together, these elements help make the novel a deep and lasting form of art.   Story Forster begins with the most basic element—the stor...

SONNET

  Sonnet – As a literary form   1. Introduction The sonnet is a short lyric poem of 14 lines , written in iambic pentameter . It is one of the most important poetic forms in English and European literature. The word “sonnet” comes from the Italian word sonetto , meaning “a little song.” This form allows the poet to express deep emotion, especially about love, beauty, nature, and time. Though it began in Italy, the sonnet became extremely popular in England, especially during the Elizabethan Age .   2. Origin and History The sonnet form began in 13th-century Italy . Its earliest and most famous practitioner was Francesco Petrarch . He wrote a sequence of love sonnets to his muse, Laura . His form, now called the Petrarchan sonnet , influenced all of Europe. In the 16th century, Sir Thomas Wyatt and Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey brought the form to England. They translated and adapted Petrarch’s sonnets into English. Later, William Shakespeare and Edmund Spen...
